Trish holding back: Trish not taking killshots
 * Trish has super strength, she didnt use it.
 * Trish can add lightning to her melee, she didnt do that either.
 * Trish had Lady on the ground, defenseless and shot her hair.
 * Trish didnt shoot lightning straight at Lady when Lady was going to stab her.


 * Trish was "holding back", that's why she shoot at Lady with powered with electricity bullets at the start which Lady had to counter with her own? That's why she shoot with the wave so strong that it destroyed entire building? Yea, no.
 * Trish "has super strenght"... her biggest lifting strenght feat is the motorbike throw. Nothing above that was ever showed from her. Nothing that would alow her to break Lady in half either.
 * Trish used lighting on her guns and on Lady when she was on the ground, the power output was so big that it destroyed the roof of the church. It could have easily killed normal human, and she was pointing her hand directly at Lady. You wont tell me that she was just using a beam that was going to destroy the building but not Lady on her way.
 * Trish had Lady on the ground... And she indeed shoot her hair. Cockiness, nothing more.
 * Name calling is not indicative of killer intent... That's true. But shooting at someone's body with powered up guns without knowing the full abilities of the individual (that is a human) and then using energy blast on them (That is strong enough to destroy the roof) is enough to tell, that there was a killing intent.

Speculation as to whether Beowulf hit harder than Trish did.

Based on what it did to the environment. Yes, it's called power-scalling.

Dante's wounds heal instantly, but that doesnt mean that he is not hurt or effected by attacks. Look at the fights with Vergil, Nelo Angelo, Arkham. No visible injuries yet Vergil beat him into uncounsciousness, Arkham stomped him and Vergil, and Nelo Angelo left him dazed and unable to fight back. So... by going with that, Lady's bullet did hurt him.

Dante was clearly moving between hits after she shocked him. If he was paralyzed in the sense that he could not move at all, then he would have went down after the fist hit, but he stood his ground and cought himself after the first strike. After the first hit he took a step back, however he wasnt fighting back or even trying to protect himself. It's the safest option to say, that he simply at that moment couldnt do so due to the lasting effect of paralys that hasnt wore off yet, or Trish attacks were so weak that he simply let her hit himself. Pick your poison ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Dante's behavior and physical reactions to Nelo Angelo's strikes are almost identicle to what happened with Trish. He was grunting, stunned and knocked back by the attacks that landed. Punched and kicked backwards several feet, and was unable to recover fast enough for the next attack. Yea... I am rewatching the whole Nelo Angelo's fight... and Dante is actually trying to fight in there and is loosing. In Trish fight he wasnt even fighting and he still managed to win without much trouble.

Pachinko games and crossovers are non-canon. They might not be canon.. **Just like DB GT**, however they were made by Capcom and are a clear indication what the creators of the game are thinking about the characters and their power-scalling... Capcom in that case.

Lady has shown no feats of strength ever. In fact, in episode 12, a demon yanked Kalina Ann away from her and then picked her up in the air. Lady had to shoot her way out of that situation. She is only able to kill demons is because of her ridiculous arsenal of firearms. There is a reason she almost never engages in melee combat. As shown from the anime and DMC4, she commonly needs Dante to help her with cases because she isnt able to handle them on her own. Trish has never needed Dante's help with a case Dante could have pulled the trigger the moment she twitched. He had no reason to hear her out because she just attacked but she got up without a care in the world. Lady needs whole mags to kill lesser demons. I think that you dont get me. I am not saying that Lady is stronger or have a better feats... Trish by far have more haxxes and techniques... Yet based on everything showcased so far, Lady seems to be capable for giving her some troubles and holding her own. The original topic of this debate was whenever Trish can take down bosses on her own without a weapon... And nothing indicates that she can. Lady (with Kalina Ann) has taken down only lesser demons and the same is with Trish. If Lady (who is capable of hurting and fighting off a while against no-weapon Trish) can be compared to Trish (and once a gain a lot of games/spin-offs does that)... then Trish by comprasion to Lady... is not capable of takind down big demons. At least not from what she and Lady has showcased so far.

Also Mundus death beam>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>bullets. Surviving the beam means she survives bullets easily. That death beam that Dante reflected casually with his eyes, without blinking when he was a bit serious? Yea... I dunno. And dont even bring up the whole "Mundus is universal" thingy...

Yes he got hurt. Because the bullet peirced him, which is why needed to heal, the way he heals from anything else in the series that cuts, pierces, slices, cuts, etc etc him. All those other things make him bleed as well. Even Vergil bled even though he insta-healed from what would have been a bisecting slash from Dante. Thanks for admitting that he got hurt by normal bullet?

She is one of the good guys. They dont kill humans. Dante wouldnt associate with her if she did. That's also headcanon. There has been never stated a single thing about Dante not killing humans. If anything Lady in DMC 3 mentioned that there are humans worse then devils.
